164 SPOLIA ZEYLANIGA. 
200. GOMALIA ALBOFASCIATA.—Also found in India, 
A very scarce and local insect in Ceylon. It is said to be 
found in the jungle between Weerawella and Kirinde, in the 
Hambantota District. I have frequently searched for it there 
without success, but only in February, March, and April. 
My only specimen was given to me by the late Mr. John 
Pole. It has no label of locality or date. 
“ Hambantota District in July. Found also near Batti- 
caloa ’’ (F. M. Mackwood). 
201. H&sPERIA GALBA.—Also found in India, Burma, &c. 
This is one of the commonest skippers in Ceylon. I have 
taken it all over the low-country, from Galle to Jaffna, but 
have no records of its capture above 4,500 feet elevation. It 
is especially common at Haldummulla, and can be taken all the 
year round. Specimens from Jafina and Mannar are usually 
very small. 
It varies little, except in the size of the white discal band 
on the upper side of the hind wing. It flies low and settles 
on the ground or short grass, and never goes far if disturbed, 
so is very easy to capture. 
“T have caught it at Haputale and Pattipola” (F. M. 
Mackwood). 
202. Baracus virratus.—Peculiar to Ceylon. 
The male varies in the size of the white patch on the fore 
wing, and the spots in interspaces 6 and 7 may be absent. In 
the female these spots are also sometimes absent, and those in 
interspaces 2 and 3 may be very small; the amount of white 
scaling on the lower wing also varies considerably. 
It is exceedingly plentiful on patanas at high elevations, 
especia'iy on the Horton Plains. It may occasionally be 
taken on grass by the roadsides as low as 3,000 feet at Haldum- 
mulla, and I found it common at Galaha, near Kandy. Those 
taken below 4,500 feet are usually smaller than those from the 
highest elevations. 
For prehensores see Pl. 4, figs. 3 and 4. They bear a very 
close resemblance to those of B. subditus from Coorg.
